ABOUT TUONG VAN BUDDHIST TEMPLE IN MASSACHUSETTS

Tuong Van Temple was established in 2010 by the current Abbot monk in the temple, Venerable Thich Tam Hy. The Venerable was invited to establish a temple in Lowell to serve the Vietnamese population northwest of Boston, who would otherwise have to travel over 40 minutes to attend a temple. Although services began when the temple opened, the temple was officially recognized by the IRS as a temple and non-profit organization in 2012...Initially, Venerable Thich Tam Hy was the only Monk in charge of the temple, but as the population of visitors grew, other Monks have come in and out of residency. In 2013, the temple expanded its physical space by adding a Dharma hall in the back. The temple is funded by Buddhist community members around the Boston area. View more
